Nidoqueen
It pacifies offspring by placing them in the gaps between the spines on its back. The spines will never secrete poison while young are present.

How to spot the original (Tomy)⚠ heavily faked
- Cream chest & belly (the #1 tell)✓ confirmed
Genuine Nidoqueen has the chest plate and belly painted cream/beige. The classic documented bootleg comes ALL blue (with purple hints), missing the cream plate. No painted chest = maximum suspicion.
- Fakes WITH the full stamp✓ confirmed
Fake Nidoqueens have been documented with the full ©Nintendo · C.G.T.S.J · TOMY · MADE IN CHINA stamp. On this figure the stamp does NOT prove authenticity — decide on the chest paint + seam.
- Price bait
It's one of the priciest Kanto Tomys (~$75 loose in the community price guide). A 'cheap and available' Nidoqueen is almost certainly a bootleg.
